Fray Ardens — Dusty Rose
Eau de Parfum
This multifleur floral has a dusty underbelly giving room to the desert attar underworld occupied by dark and balmy spirits.
“The So Below counterpart to Frau is Dusty Rose. I find that the Fray Ardens line goes to ground to some degree in all their fragrances—some earthy substance lying beneath the sorcery of other notes frolicking above—but Dusty Rose digs deeper than the rest. It’s a burial: earth, bone, flower grave marker, and the pliant chew of a rosewater confection gnawed and spit the way a grizzled Western character would with his dip. A romance tinged with macabre shading, Dusty Rose falls open into a slack tissue of petals, into a latent piquant pepper.”
— Matt Morris, Fragrantica
Dusty Rose is from Fray Ardens’ So Below line which also features Cactus Prick and Pneuma.
